Hospitality Recruiters Make the Best Match for You in Your Next Job!
Tom Schmitt was nothing but more than professional and courteous to me. He originally contacted me about a company looking for a General Manager. I was employed at the time, but not very happy in my situation. Tom talked to me in great detail in regards to the position he had. After careful consideration, I decided to pursue the opportunity. He helped me create a more professional resume to present to the company. He communicated to me on a daily basis as I went through the interview process. I was eventually given an offer for the General Manager position. I can honestly say that without Tom's help, I would still be in an unhappy job. Thank you, Roy Riddle What kinds of jobs does a Hospitality Recruitment Specialist have for me?
Nicole, inTom Schmitt's office, truly made the application and interview process very easy. Nicole was with me every step of the way, kept me very focused on moving forward as well as gave me uplifting words daily. I can truly say that Nicole's guidance help me land the position I was going after! Jennifer Reed
Tom was great to work with. He kept me informed and worked thru issues timely. He coached me for my interviews ensuring that my potential employers concerns were forefront for conversation. Should I happen to encounter someone looking to improve the employment circumstance, I will happily send them Tom’s way. Jor’l Campbell
To my surprise, I received a phone call the next morning from Tom Schmitt ...I had been searching for a restaurant management opportunity for about 4 weeks and had very little luck. I couldn't seem to find the "right" position or find the "right"person to help me. Then I came across the ad from Patrice and Associates recruiting for a kitchen manager for one of their clients. So I completed another application, submitted my resume and waited.
To my surprise, I received a phone call the next morning from Tom Schmitt, a recruiter with Patrice and Associates about an opportunity for a kitchen manager. Tom provided great details about the position, and the company. He asked questions about me as a potential employee and also about what interest me outside of work. He told me he would submit my resume and he believed I would be a great fit. 3 weeks later, I am in training with this concept and thoroughly enjoy every aspect of it. Tom was right.....it is a great fit! By using his personal knowledge of the restaurant business and his contacts gained over 20 plus years, he is a great recruiter. Theresa Coker
